Pimalai Resort & Spa

We stayed in the Pimalai hotel for 6 nights and we had a wonderful time there. When we arrived at the entrance with all the security staff, we immediately knew that this will become a special holiday! The people were so lovely but never obtrusive, the hotel facilities are well-maintained, you will be carried to the restaurants/beach by car on request, our room (bayfront) had an amazing view of the bay with direct beach access, the transfer from and to the hotel was included and very comfortable, the spa treatments worth the money and very relaxing, unbelievable view from the Seven Seas restaurant, very good food in all restaurants, 2 infinity pools with a beautiful view, special flower bouquet on our table when we had our last dinner, ... There are so many things to praise at Pimalai that it would need hours to describe it all. Just one recommendation: if you have the possibility to stay here, just DO it! It was a wonderful holiday, thank you Pimalai and to all employees for making our holiday unforgettable!!!

We stayed here for 7 nights during three weeks in Southern Thailand. Our room (Bayfront Deluxe) was beautiful with an amazing view of the bay. The room was very private and well located close to the beach, pool, bars and restaurants. The hotel is very proffessionally managed. Unfortunately during our stay I was taken ill, the resort nurse was fantastic, giving immediate care and arranging for me to be taken to a nearby clinic for further treatment. On return I was greeted with a get well card from the General Manager and a beautiful arrangement of Orchids! We ate in all 3 restaurants but our favourite was Spice and Rice, incredible Thai flavours and wonderful service! Finally, service is usually outstanding in Thailand but we found that the staff at the RAK Talay restaurant and Beach Bar took this to a whole new level. We have not experienced such attentive, welcoming and friendly service anywhere, they were truly amazing!

What an amazing experience this resort offers! I'm so excited to write my review as there are so many things travelers should know :) We booked 4 nights for relaxing in a private pool villa (villa 603) located at the highest part of the resort. The holiday starts at the arrival at Krabi airport where the resort arranged the private transportation till their place. It includes a private car or shared minivan - depending on number of customers - till their private Jetty boat - around 45 minutes; once there with a private boat we reached the resort - other 45 minutes. The hospitality of Pimalai team was super, flowers and welcome drink on the beach and at the check in lobby and a complementary bottle of wine with fresh fruits was ready in our villa. The villa is furnished of everything with complementary water and coffee, the view is amazing on sea and jungle. Complementary pick up service for any transfer inside the resort cause it's located on a jungle hill so would be quite hard going up & down without it! Breakfast for villas customers is served at Seven Seas, the highest restaurant of the resort where the view is incredible and unforgettable with blue sea & sky and their infinity pool .. it seems to be in paradise touching the sky with fingers. Service is excellent with a great buffet including hot and cold sweet & salty ingredients, a noodle soup corner and an eggs one too. Actually we expected something more considering the level of the place as the quality of the food is not that high like this 5 starts resort. Other restaurants are available in the resort and I will review them properly. The SPA is in the middle of the jungle and the quality of massages is very high. I also had a free class of Thai massage basic lesson. There are also few sport activities available on the beach. We would not going back to the reality.. but we did! Pimalai organized the transfer to the airport in order to arrive there around 1 hour before the departure enjoying a late check out and few hours more in our villa. We live in Thailand and we know very well what kind of service the country offers, here A M A Z I N G is the right word for describe it.

We stayed in the Pimalai by chance as we had booked another hotel on the Island of Koh Lanta however when we arrived at that one it wasn’t what we expected. We frantically were searching for another hotel on the island and came across the Pimalai. It said on the website there were no rooms however we rang up and luckily they had one spare. We were collected from the previous hotel and drove to the Pimalai and from the moment we got out of the car we were in heaven. We were greeted with a lemon grass drink and shown to our room which was amazing. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was incredible and the sunsets were INCREDIBLE. Pure luxury. We will definitely be returning to this hotel if we ever return to Thailand. Thank you Pimalai for transforming our stay on the island of Koh Lanta.

We have chosen Pimalai for our wedding location and so happy that we did - it was an amazing experience, they have outdone themselves not just on our special day but also during our 4 night stay. Pimalai is really worth all the money you are paying for it. Rooms: The rooms have a modern clean design and are cleaned 2x a day. AC works well and is quiet so you get a good night sleep in their comfy beds Property: Very large and well looked after estate. The property is right by the beach and offers several restaurants and bars with great views, along with the gym, library and several pools. Beach: Clean sandy stretch with sun beds and umbrellas, the seabed is sandy unlike some other beaches on the island which are quire rocky Spa: The spa makes you feel like you are miles away from any civilization, one of the best spa experiences I have in Thailand. The masseuses are very professional. If you are staying at the resort, you have to try the spa! Wedding: Last but not least - Pimalai can create an amazing wedding experience, so if you are considering them for you wedding or vow renewal location, don't hesitate. They have though of every detail and made our wedding a very smooth event. All the guests were amazed at the beautiful wedding location and the quality of the food provided during the wedding dinner. Couldn't have wished for a better place to hold out wedding. Thank you!
